Very recently I started to notice all my AI (mostly UT2, but also FSX stock aiorcraft too) aircraft shedding their landing and taxi lights above and below their aircraft. I thought it might be my shockwave redux 3D lights but I ruled that out by getting rid of them (then put them back because they look so nice). I have light bloom disabled in FSX as well. I don't recall changing anything at all for this to simply start to occur out of the blue. In the screenshot shown, that aircraft below me is in LAX airspace as I'm approaching LAX to land at night. This only happens at dusk to dawn. Could it possibly be a REX4 texture direct light setting(s)? That's the only thing I do recall playing with but wasn't flying at night too much until I came on board DVA only a month ago. Now that I'm doing a lot more night hops in order to keep to Delta scheduling, I'm seeing this all the time. It's much worse when close to the AI (IE - holding short while it approaches with its lights on).

Well I got it to stop by changing the airport lighting in REX4 - it was one that required bloom to be on but didn't realize it at the time (I have bloom disabled in FSX). So I chose one that didn't require bloom to be on and it was gone. Weird.
